Tuscan Moderati

The Moderati was a conservative faction in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany that existed during the mid-nineteenth century. The Moderati represented the conservatives in Tuscany who, unlike the Restaurazionisti, were willing to advocate moderate economic and citizenship policies. They supported any policy that would balance stability with appeasing the growing liberal nationalist cause, and it was the dominant party in the state for much of its existence. The Moderati dissolved in 1859 after Italy annexed Tuscany.
